Important Compatibility Notes

• This listing describes the standard 800 × 480 touchscreen version, not the 1024 × 600 upgraded version.

• The display occupies many ESP32-S3 GPIOs. Check the official pin mapping before connecting external modules.

• CAN and RS485 termination resistors are disabled by default and may require configuration.

• Use a suitable regulated power supply.

• Check the antenna area and avoid obstructing it with metal objects.

• The board's 7–36V DC input and Type-C 5V input are alternative power options; follow the manufacturer's wiring instructions.
